Eddie V’s Prime Seafood Gives Credit to Community Loyalty
for Fort Worth’s Inaugural Year Success

    (Fort Worth, TX) – When Eddie V’s Prime Seafood opened its doors in Fort Worth in late January of 2009, festivities and fanfare were overshadowed by an uncharacteristically severe ice storm.

    But as the ice melted, Eddie V’s was embraced by the unparalleled warmth of a welcoming Fort Worth community. The city-wide hug continues.

    “It quickly became very clear that Fort Worth appreciates what we have to offer: the finest, freshest seafood and steaks, live nightly music, and an elegant and intimate atmosphere,” said Guy Villavaso, co-owner and founder. “And we really appreciate Fort Worth.”

    During a year that proved to be a great challenge for many, Eddie V’s leadership counts the loyalty of their Fort Worth patrons as one of their most important keys to success. "The restaurant team has exceeded our expectations," says Eddie V's co-owner and founder Larry Foles. "We are very pleased with the sales performance."

    He watched with pride and gratitude as the Museum Place restaurant flourished throughout its first year. He elaborated on their satisfaction in having chosen Fort Worth’s 7th Street Cultural District site.

    “Over the last year, the realities of Eddie V’s Prime Seafood in Fort Worth actually surpassed our already high expectations,” said Mr. Foles, a longtime Texan and Austin resident. “We’ve always loved Texas, and we knew Fort Worth would be a great location for the restaurant. Fort Worth’s business, social, and cultural scenes have truly blended perfectly at Museum Place, and we are thrilled to have Eddie V’s right at the center of it all.”

    For 2010, Eddie V’s will continue nurturing these strong relationships with the Fort Worth community and providing their guests with consistently high quality and excellence in their menu offerings, service, and dining experience. Committed to offering delicious cuisine, Eddie V’s presents a most appealing menu for steak and seafood lovers alike, an imaginative wine list, and thoughtful vegetarian selections. The casual elegance and sophistication of the interiors combine with the sounds of live jazz to make any evening at Eddie V’s an evening to remember.
